This subject provides a foundation for further studies in physics and related analytical-type disciplines, such as science and engineering. You will learn to develop quarantine physical models and become aware of the assumptions upon which these models are based.
You will develop physical problem-solving strategies, learn to apply electronic, mechanical and optical techniques of measurement in the laboratory, and record quantitative data with associated uncertainties. The laboratory measurement techniques also include computer-interfaced experiments for collecting and analysing data.
